Top Downtown Ventura Hotel Reviews

Waypoint Ventura

10/10 Excellent

"The waypoint ventura is one of the unique stays i've been to. The place is clean and staffs are super friendly. The location is convenient. it's pet friendly. The amenities is all inclusive. would recommend to friends and family."

Ventura Beach House Motel

8/10 Good

"Older motel that is clean and well maintained. Only negative I experienced was being upgraded to a room with 1 bed that turned out to be a handi-cap room with a hand-held shower head that came out of the wall at waist high. No very useful for a 6'3" tall guy. Make sure you ask about the shower when checking in."
